Ai Lian said.

"The flowers of the water, land, grass and trees, the lovely ones are very numerous. There is Cao Mengqiu Duai Ju (a literati in the history of the Han Dynasty in this world, whose residence is 'Liujin Hall', planted with golden chrysanthemums). Since Emperor Hui (a former emperor of the Yong Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, known for his love of flowers, there are dozens of poems of 'singing peony'), the world loves peony very much. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed.

"It is called a chrysanthemum, and the one who is a recluse of flowers; Peony, the rich and noble of flowers; Lotus, the gentleman of flowers. Belch! The love of chrysanthemum, Cao Hou rarely heard. The love of the lotus, who is the giver? The love of peony is suitable for everyone! ”

The full text is 116 words, without piling up words, but it is concise and clear, and it expresses his heart directly. Ai Lian said that just by listening to the title, you will know what to say next, but as the article progresses, anyone who hears "out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons" will show a clear lotus in their minds.

Finally, this article is to associate the lotus flower with the gentleman, which is to support the words and aspirations of things, and it is also to borrow things to lyrical. If you connect it with the Lotus Sheng Pavilion Lord Su Family, there is even a derivative meaning - in my eyes, you are by no means a woman in the dust, but a gentleman's flower that is above the mortal dust.

Since ancient times, even though they have received many praises, no one has ever regarded them as equal relations in their hearts. Even if you are a popular person, you can only marry someone as a "concubine" after retiring, which is the social rule.

But Zhou Daoan himself was not raised by this kind of civilization, and Zhou Dunyi, the author of "Ai Lian Said" itself, only made articles to show his heart, and now Zhou Daoan is using it to "give Su everyone", which means completely different.

Gift to everyone, not only a gift! This is a vision that completely subverts universal values! None of the people present could write such an article.

But even if they don't particularly agree with it in their hearts, for everyone in Su, everyone knows that as soon as this article comes out, the game is over. Moreover, the Su family will soon become famous because of this article, because this good article will soon fly out of the Lotus Pavilion, fly out of Fan Garden, and spread all over Yongjing. At that time, the reason for the birth of this article - the Su family - will also be talked about along with the story of the article.

As for Xi Shangshuo's article...... In fact, he can already do without it.

Whether it is the time limit of the next cup of tea, or the condition that you have to conceive better than this article to win, Xi Shangshuo will not have any chance of winning - writing an article is the most taboo to have someone in front of you, either you are conceited that the same idea is much higher than the previous article, or you avoid the same idea and try your best to come up with a new move. Otherwise, you can only follow the back and eat fart.

This "Ai Lian Said" has a fresh and simple style, but it almost sealed the angle of Xi Shangshuo's "gift to everyone in Suzhou".

How else can it be praised? How else can you hold it? How else can you complain?

I saw that Xi Shangshuo was silent, and it wasn't until more than a dozen breaths later that he slowly exhaled a breath-

"Xi lost." These four words seem to weigh a thousand pounds, and they want to pop out of Xi Shangshuo's mouth one by one. Even Xi Shangshuo himself had an unreal feeling - why did he lose? Also lost to an unknown person...... That's right!

Xi Shangshuo suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I haven't asked for advice yet, this friend's surname is Taifu?" ”

Is this to make the green mountains not change the green water? Zhou Daoan hesitated slightly, and was thinking about whether to reply to Xi Shangshuo, but Yan Derang on the side spoke "eventfully"-

"This is the talent of the Yu Zhang Zhou family! Originally, I only heard that the most outstanding generation of the Zhou family was Daoxuan Gongzi, and today I know that the 5-hundred-year-old family has an extraordinary heritage! The name of Dao'an Gongzi, he will be famous all over the world one day! ”

"Dao'an? Zhou Daoan? Xi Shangshuo repeated the name thoughtfully, and suddenly got up without saying a word, walked to the corner of the private room, and turned his back to everyone......

Seeing a light that was not dazzling, Zhou Daoan's senses were sharper, and he noticed that the sense of space in the elegant room had been slightly distorted, but there was no discomfort - this was the phenomenon that a small teleportation array was opened around him.

It is not uncommon for people like Xi Shangshuo to carry a small teleportation array with them. Similar to the big brother in the 90s, some people carried in their butt pockets, which is a status symbol. But Xi Shangshuo was here, almost in front of everyone, opening the teleportation array, which showed that he had "urgent matters" to deal with.

Thinking that he had just asked his name, Zhou Daoan didn't feel good.

Sure enough, after about a few minutes, Xi Shangshuo turned off the small teleportation array and put it in his wide sleeve. When he turned around again, his face was already as usual, and he couldn't see any haze of "failure".

"It turned out to be a mediocre junior in front of him, and he was rude."

Junior brother is the name of the seniors to the juniors in Wenzong; Yongzhi is the word given by the old master to Zhou Daoan. Being able to call out the title of "Yongzhi Junior" means that Xi Shangshuo just sent a letter to confirm Zhou Daoan's information. After all, Zhou Daoan became the personal heir of the old master, and he was registered in Wenzong. As a strong contender for the next sect master, it was easy for Xi Shangshuo to check the information of a Wenzong disciple.

Zhou Daoan sighed silently in his heart - if Xi Shangshuo was only talking about his identity, he would not be afraid. But what I am most afraid of is that Xi Shangshuo will deal with it based on the relationship within Wenzong. First of all, he has to call him "senior brother" or "senior" in terms of title, and he is invisibly a head shorter. Secondly, since Xi Shangshuo is a candidate for the next sect master of Wenzong, this means that he has the possibility of "wearing small shoes" for Zhou Daoan in the future. Even if Zhou Daoan didn't care and patted his ass and left Wenzong, the old master would still stay in Wenzong.

Thinking of his master, Zhou Daoan felt a little helpless.

"Senior Brother Yan Ran, the younger brother is polite." Zhou Daoan stood up and gave Xi Shangshuo a standard bow.

"Since you are a disciple of my sect, why didn't you talk to your brother at the beginning? You don't have to do that kind of work. Xi Shangshuo's smile looked sincere, he patted Zhou Daoan's hand, and said very freely, "Yongzhi is afraid that I will press you as a Wenzong?" Hahaha, you are not familiar with me, and you don't know that I am Xi someone as a person - another talent has appeared in my sect, and Xi someone will only be happy. ”

Zhou Daoan hurriedly said with a "ashamed" expression: "There are a lot of senior brothers, and it is the younger brother who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

Xi Shangshuo bowed his hand, didn't seem to care, grabbed Zhou Daoan's hand and motioned him to sit down, and said with a warm expression: "There is no need to worry about this matter...... Is there anything to do when the junior comes to the capital? ”

Zhou Daoan replied: "Because my brother Daoxuan wants to participate in the Yingjie Conference, I came to see and see." He didn't say anything about the fact that Old Master Ren also went to Beijing with some public school disciples to take the exam.

Xi Shangshuo let out an "oh", asked a few more inconsequential questions, then stood up again, and said to Zhou Daoan: "It's a blessing to meet a junior brother today, and it won't be too much delay for a young man to love and be a brother......

After that, he glanced at Su Qinghe as if he was nothing, and then pointed to Yun Wai on the table, and said, "Qinghe, with Yong's help to you, there is nothing to worry about in this matter." However, Yun Cry is still left to you, as you choose, if you don't need it, let someone return it to me. ”

Then, he greeted everyone present slightly, and left with Meng Luan'er.

A tea fight ended like this, and seeing Xi Shangshuo leave, the other people also said goodbye in a funny way. Yan Derang seemed to be "willingly", and when he left, he took Zhou Daoan's hand and said meaningfully, "The future is terrifying", and then squeezed his eyebrows for a while before "saying goodbye"; Gao Gongzi reverted to his unsociable appearance, and only gave a slight greeting before leaving. hesitated a little when he left, but he still took the guqin he brought with him - Xu felt that his qin was not ranked in front of Yun Wai and Zhou Daoan's qin.

For a while, the elegant room was completely deserted, and there was only one guest in Zhou Daoan.

Outside the private room, in Fan Yuan, Xi Shangshuo left very low-key and did not greet anyone he knew well. Meng Luan'er followed behind Xi Shangshuo without saying a word - the other party didn't say a word, Meng Luan'er didn't dare to provoke any words, even if it was a word of comfort. Because she knew in her heart that this was the first defeat since Xi Shangshuo became famous.

Meng Luan'er didn't know what Xi Shangshuo really thought in her heart at this time, with her understanding of Xi Shangshuo, although the other party had always been chic, she really cared about Su Qinghe. Seeing that Doucha lost to that "Zhou Yongzhi", and once again lost the opportunity to comb Su Qinghe, he must have felt very uncomfortable......

was pondering, but he didn't stop under his feet, and accidentally hit "a wall" - I don't know when, Xi Shangshuo suddenly stopped, and his broad back made Meng Luan'er "hit the wall".

"Oops......" Meng Luan'er exclaimed slightly, and then swallowed her voice again. I saw Xi Shangshuo standing on the corridor on the first floor of Fan Yuan, letting the wind howl on all sides, blowing his robe.

"Luan'er, you say...... Will Qinghe fall in love with that kid? Xi Shangshuo didn't look back, only a hollow voice came.

"This ...... Of course not! Meng Luan'er thought for a while, and immediately knew how to answer, and hurriedly said, "Although the kid surnamed Zhou looks quite pleasing to the eye, he is far inferior to Xi Lang." Besides, how old is he? How many years older is Su Qinghe than him, right? I would never fall in love with this person. ”

"......" listened to Meng Luan'er's answer, but Xi Shangshuo was silent. After a while, he said to himself, confusedly, as if to himself, "That...... Why did Qinghe reject me repeatedly? This time...... She needs my help, right? The kid...... What problems can you help her solve? Qinghe wouldn't be so unwise to bet on an unmasked kid, right? ”
